Student Success Statement

"Dare to stand
 alone."

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: In my opinion this quote means it doesn't matter what other people do you do what you think is best for yourself. Don't follow the crowd as an example that Mr. Haymore showed us Jameson Curry decided to do the same things as his friends are so called friends did and got charged with felony, lost his chance to play basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels and also lost his spot on his high school Varsity basketball team that he had multiple records in.

Student Success Statement 

"You can't be right by doingwrong; youcan't be wrongby doing right."

Thomas S. Monson 

Reflection: I believe this quote is trying to say that even if you believe you're doing something right by doing the wrong you are really not. Whenever you're doing the right you're most likely not doing something bad because you have no doubts about it.

Reflection: People are going to test you on how much you obey. Some people will base you off of that.Like in job interviews, etc.

Student Success Statement 

"Our very business in life is not to get ahead of others... but to get ahead of ourselves."Thomas S. Monson 

Reflection: In my opinion this quote means to always try to do better than what you did. A saying that my 8th grade AVID teacher taught me is "Good, better, best, never ever rest, until your good is better, and your better is best." I believe this saying connects to the quote because its telling you to never stop at what you think is your best because you could always do better.

“Decisions determine destiny”

Thomas S. Monson

              Reflection:                                                                              

I believe this quote means that whatever you do in your life now will decide how you live your future. Your decisions can either affect or be good to your future and how you live it. If you make a bad decision it will affect you and maybe even your future. If you make a good decision good things will come from it and it could help shape your future.
